Streetart on a wall near the canal - I thought the bricks pattern made it look ever so slightly like 8-bit graphics. Quick snap with the phone camera
reminder of the great san francisco earthquake. not pretty, but i liked the variety of brickwork and geometrical shapes.
Unusual here in the Cotswolds, as Stone is the main building material for everything. In the old kitchen gardens however, brick was used to line the wall on the south side to retain the sun's heat, and enable gardeners to provide fruit such as peaches and apricots, and, as we do on the bit of wall that remains here, pears.
I do enjoy strolling around Brick Lane particularly while wearing a comfortable skirt like this. Loads of nice pubs and restaurants in the area and plenty of vintage clothes shops to wander around in. You must join me one day.
The now defunct Toronto Harbour Commission (THC) began construction of the peninsula in the late 1950s. Its originally foreseen purpose was to provide a breakwater for Toronto's Outer Harbour, which itself was expected to be necessary to handle the increase in shipping on the Great Lakes after the Saint Lawrence Seaway opened in 1959. However, owing to the containerization revolution of the 1960s, the need for an outer harbour never arose, and all cargo ships calling at Toronto still use the Inner Harbour, while the Outer Harbour sees only pleasure boat traffic.
The need for the headland, however, did not disappear. In the 1960s and 1970s, development in Toronto proceeded rapidly, and the Leslie Street Spit was a convenient place to dump the endless supply of rubble and earth generated by all the building projects in the city. (from wikipedia)
A rather crude brick feature at Easthampstead Shops. I suppose it was considered pretty cool at some point !
I used to have an aversion to gray and brown. (I was also prejudiced against black and navy and black and brown.) Then, I noticed how well gray and brown went together in nature: feathers, fur, trees, rocks. No one would say those clash! Here’s another example of gray and brown pairing well together: bricks and mortar.

Brick Rodeo was in Austin TX this year and we finally got to attend for more than one day (we bought the AFOL passes). I was thrilled to find these minifigs in my goody bag.,, especially the custom printed purple space torso :-)
I rearranged the minifigs slightly. The female face was on the red spaceman and I moved it to the purple torso. I also changed the hair to something that would fit over the purple oxygen tanks but otherwise, these are very similar to what we were given.
It was a fun event and I can't wait to attend it the next time it's in Austin (I think that's 2 years from now). I only wish it could be in Austin every year.....

I've only vague information for this: there was an Atlas Brickworks at Bathgate (Armadale) in Scotland - West Lothian, midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. It existed between, roughly, the early/mid 1880s to the early/mid 1970s and may have continued elsewhere. Atlas bricks may have been exported as far afield as Australia and Canada. This brick has a very shapely 'frog'.

God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun,
And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone,
It can't outmatched, it can't be outrun, no...
